And another good week behind me. Tomorrow is weigh-in day and I’ve avoided going on the scale the whole week. I don’t want to be ruled by the scale, I want to feel good for other things that I’m doing in my life to be healthy.
I had physiotherapy twice this week for my knee. FINALLY I decided to go. I already had a “note” from my GP (we have to have these notes from the doctor to do anything around here) in November saying I should go to the physio but because I work so far away from home I just didn’t see when I could actually go and not have to take an entire day off work. Well… I mentioned this to work and they arranged a laptop and remote access for me so I can work at home on the days I have physio. How cool is that?
I went to the gym twice this week, but I did NOT go on my elliptical at all. This absolutely has to change. Ron and I had an agreement that HE would cook if I would go on the elliptical. Granted I did cook a few times this week (after all I was home), I still am not holding up to my end of the agreement. So this has to change and actually as of now I’m going to be doing just that.
WW/ food-wise I have done really well again this week. I don’t want to make it sound easy, but actually it’s NOT that hard. What I know for a FACT now is that I MUST plan ahead. When I plan ahead and prepare all my meals I tend to not deviate. Even at work there have been several situations where, in the past, I would have just gone for (birthdays - cake - and candy/chocolate galore for the whole department, just left for the taking). Also, because I have been planning, I know EXACTLY how many lattes or cappuccinos I can have during the day. To be honest, yes, I LOVE my lattes, and it’s a great way to get a milk serving in, but I love espresso and have no issue just drinking shots or americanos or even our drip coffee at work! I also never put anything in my milk drinks - I’m not a sugar or syrup person so there’s really no issue there for me.
I took some photos today - and I will take photos again in another 3 weeks. There WILL be a difference, even if only a slight one. I am NOT going backwards again. I read a motivational quote this week that was summed up as “Nothing in your refrigerator or food cupboard that you could binge on is going to make you feel better” It’s so true. ONLY working on IMPROVING myself (which includes the food plan and the exercise, but also the MENTAL things I’m changing) is going to make me feel better. I know for a FACT that I will feel better when I am at a more “normal” weight for myself. Not everyone feels better when they lose weight. If you don’t change a combination of things, losing weight won’t actually bring you that happiness.
So, here they are. I look a little weird - I don’t know, weird angle or something - but it’s a true representation of me RIGHT NOW.
